How Superconducting Levitation Works

[DavenH]

Destination Skyline!!!! Holy fark ... anyone remember mp3.com ?

[1pnoe]

A quick joke:

"A super conductor walked into a bar,

the bartender said: we don't serve your type in here.

He then left without resistance"

[GuilPejon]

anyone noticed this video is from 2007? 5 years later and this kind of techonology is still only in the labs, I doubt we're going to see this works outside the labs in this life

[grandcreator]

JetMoto anyone?

[camerongrossman]

Dios mío!! It atracts until an specific distance. Wipeout is possible!!! :D

[electromythra]

can you explaind all this like i was a 5 yo?

[1993prague]

this video brought me actually to Aura music. thanks a lot!

[Ozziel1997]

Oh it easy i cant make that because my money...

[PhibeRCoRe]

Thanks.

[BAYTOWNTEX]

the prophecy is true

[huyakorn]

Magnet can attract this metal. This metal is not a magnet but it can push magnet.

[LibertyOfExpression]

What happens to the weight of the superconductor? When you pick up the magnet, do you carry the weight of the magnet and the superconductor or merely the weight of the magnet?

[abinfinity]

@LibertyOfExpression

Someone please answer this question...

[MarkSMcGee]

@LibertyOfExpression I'm Sure you will carry the weight of both. The magnetic field does not negate the effect of gravity, it just creates a field with a type of memory to keep it in place. You can thick of it as a string attaching the two. But the "string" is a magnetic field. So yes it would still have the force of gravity causing it to have a weight.

[yinge101]

I wonder what will happen if I put my credit card near this thing.....

[1993prague]

very nice song! thanks to this (interesting) vid i got to autra trance music.

[seeknay124012401]

I have a question hopefully someone can point me in good direction, Is it possible for a single superconductor to flux trap more than one electro magnetic source aka the magnet or vice versa is it possible for two superconductors to flux trap the same magnetic source.

[nicklin1995]

what a mind fuck

[ConforMIDI]

People will look back at our past and wonder why we went to work in cars. The future is amazing, but the problem is the cost of these technologies. It costs millions of dollars to build trains like that (or so I'm told). Does your government want to spend that much when they already get profits from selling bus passes and tickets? Unfortunately, our society is guided by profits and not by helping people.

[digitalsiler]

my god man I have not heard that song in AGES!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!

[urborg74]

Man I could mess around with stuff like that all day

[mahamad458]

ويخلق مالا تعلمون

[robbthy]

and it also levitates... me

[mdoerkse]

How can this guy talk about something so cool in such a deadpan voice?

[Dea0X]

Fucking magnets! How do they work?!

[snoogboonin]

like this if your here because of the colbert report!

[AsianHideOut]

Which boss thought of not using gloves? What a smart ass.

[Ullip12]

@AsianHideOut Care bout safety? I bet youre a huge party crasher

[AsianHideOut]

@Ullip12 I hope your being sarcastic, if you aren't, it's because I have a brain.

[Ullip12]

@AsianHideOut No. It's because of ppl like you who never takes risks we'd be stuck in the stone ag. no offence but that's the truth

[AsianHideOut]

@Ullip12 i was offended by that. Of course risks are a big part of advancement, but in the situation we're discussing here, what can he possibly achieve by not using gloves? Show off his manliness? Please think before replying.

[Ullip12]

@AsianHideOut Don't be offended. not rly my intention. i myself is a big risk taker so i'm probably just nuts.

[AsianHideOut]

@Ullip12 You aren't nuts, we just have different opinions, let's just drop this; and I'm glad none of us used profanity in this argument.

[furyberserk]

If you do not understand, it's like this.

at first, the boy and the girl hate each other.

After being forced together by the teacher they become close.

Then they get married and are close to each other, but not as close as before.

Then when the man cheats and comes back, they still hate each other, but cannot leave each other either. That is your example children. Don't drink and drive... alone >:D mwahahahahaha

[PhoenixStar117]

* happy sigh * Finally, we have arrived in the good "new" future :D

[MrNohatin]

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[g00hz]

Good :D

[jaries12]

Holy fucking balls, we're in the future!

[MultiObligation]

@jaries12 We are! Except superconductivity was discovered 100 years ago... Doh!

[ZequeZ1]

All I could think the entire video were the race ships from Start Wars.

[bunanabun]

look ma, no gloves

[Ari97]

Just for info, maglev trains were pioneered by Prof Eric Laithwaite at Imperial College in the 1970s He was a wonderfully kind man.

[ReductioAdAbsurdum]

You demonstrated the phenomena and named it, you didn't explain how or why it works.

[MrVegster]

@ReductioAdAbsurdum Both pinning and meissner effect is explained. What more do you need, a quantum mechanical treatment with equations? This is an educational video probably also meant to get people interested in superconductivity so they might learn more in other places. You're welcome to do that too, or ask me if you need some tips ;-) See also this video of a levitating train in 3 dimensions here: moebius dot youtube dot mosem dot eu ;-)

[FlintSparkedStudios]

@ReductioAdAbsurdum You'd honestly expect all that to be explained in a little over 6 minutes? I think it's just to introduce people to the idea.

[ReductioAdAbsurdum]

@FlintSparkedStudios "You'd honestly expect all that to be explained in a little over 6 minutes?"

I've seen a video that does it in less. But it took some clicking.

[winther2609]

@williama15k indeed

[DrinkUrPruneJuice77]

I need to get me some YBCO :)

[djsindtps]

all we need is a super battery so we can work the superconductor on a hoverboard

[turbofritz2]

Ohh yeah. This will reduce LOTS of work and revolutionize the world. No need for beatings, no need for maintainance in all cars, trucks and trains bearings and engines..

All friction has been beaten. Now it's only wind resistance!!

[TheTrueJBV3737]

@turbofritz2 in relation to win resistance, if the train or what ever is inside a tube that is vacuumed out with no air of any sort in it? = no air resistance, only energy used would be to accelerating and stopping and those can be recycled for each other. :)

[chimpy72]

@TheTrueJBV3737 There'll be heat loss involved whilst braking/accelerating, vibrations/sound, etc. All of those will cost the system efficiency. Not to mention the supercooled magnets all along the route -_-

[TheTrueJBV3737]

@chimpy72 if we made such an advanced system i think the braking and accelerating would be via magnet aswell.

[SharjaKid]

what is the need of it ?

[Williama15k]

Did the website 27bslash6 bring anyone else to this video?

[Farqan86]

@Williama15k Yes! That website is awesome

[whatthejake2]

song?



[imachicknamedbob]

You should see what happens if you poor mercury on the superconductor...

[whatthejake2]

@imachicknamedbob POUR

[imachicknamedbob]

is there a way to cool the superconductor by changing the atmospheric enviroment?

[mello93817]

hi!, i was just wondering, does the temperature of the liquid nitrogen stay like that forever?

[ujjain5]

Would it be bad for your hand to touch the -100 degrees celcius thing for a few seconds?

[mniehl93]

@ujjain5 it will evaporate before it hits you, however i believe if you pour too much on or stick your hand in some volume it would freeze

[NELEwb]

thank you very much 4 this video! now i'm finally able to build a one of this "flux capacitors" and finish my time machine . . .

[SynChrOPogi]

hmm? how a bout without anything just simple hovering without tubes or lines..

[dozentcare]

well to make this applicable in our life, i imagine they need to invent a super-conductor that works in room temperature right?

[SynChrOPogi]

can you levitate a magnet witout super conductor??

[TheSwamper]

@SynChrOPogi If you had two magnets, one affixed to a table and another trapped in a tube above it, you could float one on top of the other. However, without that tube to keep it from moving side to side, it will always fall away.

[swish1234567890]

wat determines the distance that they will come to before repulsion starts? is it some kind of equilibrium?

[BrownCreature]

63 semi-conductors watched this video

[AzfarulGiantz]

why all these works ONLY when there's Critical Tempreture.. Please tell me ;D

[ma356289]

fucks trapping effect LOL!

[backhandable]

A quick question concidering the flux trapping effect, does this theory state that the super conductor (one particular side) attract to one pole i.e. one pole attracts to one side of the Super conductor and the other to the other? If this does hold true then yould the flux trapping effect required "activation" to occur and if so can this "activation" be calculated? Great vid btw =)

[Sarrasari]

He sounds so bored O.o

[NicLou23]

aww man, its crooked :(

[MrTrykster]

what happens when the compound warms up again? meaning, if you would take the compound out and leave it there, without the cooling of the liquid N, would it still maintain these flux trapping effects?

[MrOni0N]

@MrTrykster nop, above its critical temperature of 91K it loses its superconductor status and reverts back to a stone :D

[MrTrykster]

@MrOni0N

thank you :)

[BrownCreature]

what is the music?

I needsss it

[adamcjrocks]

i am just wondering will the superconductor still pocess these qualities even once the liquid nitrogen has been seperated from the superconductor. thanks adam

[detroitluv82]

where is this type of information taught?

[Ebbtide007]

@detroitluv82 College. 

[detroitluv82]

@Ebbtide007 I have a degree and still think that information seems to be hidden.

[omarpsp5000]

Wieeeeeerd, he said it was in Taiwan, so...shouldn't he use chopsticks instead of the spoon ?! o,0

lol kidding, grrrreat movie (Y)

[jj987987987]

is the flux trapping effect related to lenz's law?

[DongerZ1]

@jj987987987 To some degree but to be completely honest, we realy don't know much about superconductors. They're a mystery as of now

[DaffyDaffyDaffy33322]

2:01 did the spoon let off gas or something?

[jj987987987]

@DaffyDaffyDaffy33322 wow, eyes so sharp. Probably it's the reflection of light on camera?

[Heimvjurt]

So little physical explanation, bollocks =(

[jj987987987]

is flux trapping effect only happen between superconductor?

[kalebzebadi]

do you have to have a strong magnet? or could it be a fairly weak one?

[deathofpreyor]

@chirallity you have to make it

[nkBuddy321]

NOW I CAN MAKE THE HOVER BOARD I AM MAKEING!!!!!!!!! :D

[jairoz930]

how can i obtain that kind of superconductor?

[platipusoj]

@jairoz930 you can find this exact super conductor plus a powerful magnet for 50$ on amazon or 75$ if you want a specil nitrogen thermos some leather gloves and saftey googles. my parents bought me the 75$ it for my birth day

[incrowdcynic]

Its the Americus Diamond narrator. Will we be learning about diamond grading as well?

[taresFlyInCircles]

nice intro fag

[xineisBR]

How long does the ceramic stay in that superconductive state? Is it a matter of seconds or minutes?

I will present a superconductive project to my school's science fair and I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks!

[RashaAhmad1995]

since i want to make this type of train for a project, how will i arrange the magnet surface?

[ConnorXV]

@chirallity theyre usually on the back of fridge magnets, they stick because the fridge is cold

[rampriyadarshini]

super conductors are super cool!!!!!!!...thanks for uploading :D

[fuzzyjem3]

that car looks like a future caddilac floater! lol

[Porly62]

Damn nature.....you're sexy

[7blueblood]

ow.. my brain

[TheRoadkillboy]

Does any one know where to get these things?

[13Septem13]

this looks like a magic but its science, amazing

[Tvrkan]

why would anyone dislike this?

[comandercool101]

@Tvrkan because they were stupid enough to stick their hand in the liquid nitrogen.

[jaleebabie]

hey this video is just awesome whats the substance he puts in is it water or nitrogen?

[RandomGuy8D]

@jaleebabie liquid nitrogen

[polymerizedrecords]

This was really well-explained. Thank you!

[archibaldmainsfield]

Mind. BLOWN

[Truocco15]

thumbs up 4 the froger add

[MrAwsome514]

Put simply weird shit happens when you divide by zero.

[MrAwsome514]

When a magnet moves over a conductive material it induces an electric current into it. Electrical power is measured in watts. Wattage is the current's voltage multiplied by it's amperage. It's amperage is it's voltage divided by the conductor's resistance. Reguardless of what voltage is induced into the super conductor it's resistance is still 0 and thus the amperage (based on the math) is infinite.

[MrMadness87]

thats the name of my new band.....flux trapping effect

[uawwildbob]

is it true that silver coated aluminum will become a superconductor. at the low temp. of liquid nitrogen. or the low temp of space ?

[hazarada]

FAKE!! FAKE!! i can see the tiny wires and there is no such thing as "liquid" nitrogen, everybody knows its a gas!!!

[tony2lgamd]

@hazarada May I Ask You Something?

What Do You Eat In The Morning ?

Shit?

Lol you know nothing

[hazarada]

@tony2lgamd i had your mothers tears as i fucked her in the ass

[joplimat]

SCIENCE!!!!!

[MasterRyu3]

Question, how long does the thermal equilibrium and flux trapping effect last?

[tony2lgamd]

@MasterRyu3 it can last for ever As long as the Super Conductor is in the Liquid nitrogen

[Thereasonablerefuter]

hooray all we have to do is get a large super conductor to cover a city and poor liquid nitrogen on it lol

[masiullah619]

Waste of time! How are you supposed to make a hover car or board

[tony2lgamd]

@masiullah619 it is already dont in the levitating train The Train Is Flying above the Rails for 2-3 Cm

[masiullah619]

@tony2lgamd What I had meant was that you still need something underneath it so basicly no use unless you want to cover the whole city in that.

BTW 2-3cm or even 6cm isnt much of use to me. I would want a car that would go meters high or inches low. Doesn't everyone?

[tony2lgamd]

@masiullah619 the idea is not making a flying train or car the idea is :

when The Train is above rails by 2-3 or even 6 There will be no friction so You Can Speed Up As Much as you Can

the point aint making it a flying train just the speed :D

[tony2lgamd]

@masiullah619 and it is just the start in the future they will discover another way where u dont need the rails beneath you just the vehicle

[codehendrix]

Is there any way to bend magnetic fields so that two magnets with the same charge facing eachother could project the filed downwards and therefore levitate?

[TADahar]

The maglev car on the road made me think about one thing: what would the effect be on my body if I crossed the road. Don't maglev tracks have buffer zones keeping it away from human residence?

[DatAwkwardWhale]

@TADahar The effect o body would be slight effects on your vision and heart, but not overly noticeable. However i wouldnt recommend having anything metal with you when you cross it

[jpmorgan187]

the explanation for the flux trapping made no sense

[dookie4129]

this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dookie4129]

this video made realize i have big balls

[Valmourt]

cool

[coma22309]

hi im doing something similar for my project what i want to do is make a polystyrene cube levetated by using 5 perm magnets and 4 electro magnets any tips on how i can do it

[lambonut6]

MIND BLOWN

[DanielHesslow]

I would like some of those :)

[slipknot9821]

oh i love science it's all around us. I like too learn it. Also i think science is just a very amazing process and i want too learn more about it. :D i like anything that is equal too science and labs.

[Lordp00m]

Question: If you use an electromagnet instead of a permanent one does it still work?

Also if you turn up the power (increase the magnetic field) does it go up or stay where it is?

[MrSurface94]

put your fingers in the awesome boiling liquid :D

[caramelllllo]

@MrSurface94 ...and lose them, forever.

[inventorOz84]

@MrSurface94

and lose it immediately. :)

[BigMilan]

@MrSurface94 i had this crazy nitrogen transportation lady intentionally throw some at my shoe and it evaporated instantly. scary, but absolutely painless.

[lmk10000]

Inception @ 3:52

[Lordp00m]

So why do we still have weels under our cars?

Seems to me that this could save me a lot of money because i wont need to replace tires. Not to mention the drop of accidents caused by slippery roads and what not...

[DanielHesslow]

@Lordp00m slippery roads..... if you think about it slippery is just a place where the friktion is less than usual. if we would use this method the friktion would be equal to 0 (= if we don't care about the friktion of air) this mean that it will be SUPER slippery. How could you stop cars at all? not to mention how to power them? i guess as airplanes but an airplane has no effective way to be stopped at 70 meters as a regular car. For an airplane we are talking miles. Sorry for any miss spelling

[Lordp00m]

@DanielHesslow You wont slip sideways with this if i understand this right. Not unless your speed is high enough though... You have a point on stopping though. We'll have to work that out. I think deceleration roads which split from the main road would be good enough for normal transport but what if there are unforseen circumstances?

[mika1982rafa]

@DanielHesslow We could use the Meissner effect and stop the car by repelling it. Same, on the opposite side of the car, to accelerate it. We could achieve stopping and accelerating forces as great as the magnetig field we are using. Just guessing.

[quidproquo2004]

@Lordp00m No economic solution has been discovered because physicists have yet to discover a material that superconducts at or very near "normal" temperatures. Perhaps one day.

[richard2mitchell]

anyone know song?

[docBrown056]

@richard2mitchell Try 'aura-destination skyline. also try progression-part1 while watching wingsuit vids from eiger

[richard2mitchell]

@docBrown056 ok ty

[aussj4link]

So... Essentially the fuel would be liquid nitrogen or something else that could keep the super conductor cold. Also, how would you stop efficiently? I wonder if this could be used to lift objects and make them easy to move...

[dsalpha18]

Thank you, I have learned alot.

[possumverde]

Out of curiosity, If you pressed one magnet against one side of the superconductor and another against the other, with the opposite poles of the magnets facing each other, would the forces responsible for the levitation effect be able to keep the two magnets from coming completely together sandwiching the superconductor?

[ExplosivePyro]

damn you global warming!

[p1rat1s]

WoW !

[fo76]

the video is nice, thanks. the music however... a bit like in a cheap porn movie...

[bradleytong]

fuckin magnets...

[mcwonderboy]

whats the song at the end of this?

[andreigl]

amazing :)

[bogdandanci1988]

This is THE SHIT

[heyshutupyou]

so could you have a super cooled material that interacts with the earth's magnetic field and float?
